True.
Kim Il‑Sung sought and obtained backing from Joseph Stalin before launching the invasion of South Korea in June 1950, and he also informed and sought support from Mao Zedong and Chinese leaders. Stalin agreed to provide weapons, tanks and air support (but not Soviet ground troops) in early 1950; Mao was consulted and later gave China’s assent to intervene once UN/US forces advanced into North Korea. (In short: Kim did inform both the USSR and China and secured their political and material support.)
